Why we like it

RX Elements stands out in the toolfarm library as a compact entry point to iZotope's RX repair tools, giving Premiere Pro editors six focused plugins for common audio problems — clicks, clipping, hum, reverb, and noise — inside the host.

What is iZotope RX Elements?

iZotope RX Elements is an easy-to-use, intelligent noise reduction and audio repair toolkit that runs inside Premiere Pro. It packages six plugins for rescuing recordings: De-click, De-clip, De-hum, De-reverb, Voice De-noise, and the Repair Assistant.

De-click identifies and removes clicks, pops, and digital impulse noises with a low-latency algorithm, while De-clip repairs digital and analog clipping artifacts. De-hum clears hum, wireless ring, and interference using a Static mode that targets a fundamental tone and 16 harmonic bands, or a Dynamic mode with up to 1024 variable notch filters. De-reverb reduces reverb captured from a recorded space, and the zero-latency Voice De-noise focuses on dialogue and sung vocals, with an Adaptive mode that adjusts to a changing noise floor in real time.

The Repair Assistant lets you pick the material type — voice, tonal/harmonic instruments, percussion, or sound effects — then analyzes the audio and returns processing suggestions you can audition at light, medium, or aggressive intensities before rendering.

Frequently asked questions

What plugin formats does iZotope RX Elements support?

iZotope RX Elements is available in AU, AAX, AAX Audiosuite, VST3, AU ARA, and VST3 ARA formats, all 64-bit only. That range covers most major hosts, including Premiere Pro. Within the RX line certain components have narrower support — the Repair Assistant runs as AAX Audiosuite, AU, or VST3, for example. For the full breakdown of which format fits your setup, check the developer's page.

What operating systems does iZotope RX Elements run on?

iZotope RX Elements supports macOS Sonoma (14.7.x), Sequoia (15.7.x), and Tahoe (26.4.x) on both Intel Macs and Apple silicon M-series Macs, running native or under Rosetta. On Windows, it runs on Windows 10 (22H2) and Windows 11 (24H2). All plugin formats are 64-bit only. The developer also notes added support for installation on macOS 10.15 Catalina. If you're on an older system, confirm compatibility on the developer's page before installing.

How does the Repair Assistant in iZotope RX Elements work?

iZotope RX Elements includes the Repair Assistant, which asks you to select the type of material — voice, tonal/harmonic instruments, percussion, or sound effects — then analyzes the audio using machine learning. It returns processing suggestions you can review and audition, each offered at three intensities: light, medium, or aggressive. Once you pick a result, you render and you're done. The Repair Assistant is available in AAX Audiosuite, AU, and VST3 formats.

Is iZotope RX Elements free?

iZotope RX Elements is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change, and iZotope may offer it under different conditions elsewhere, so check the developer's page for current details before you download. The Elements tier sits below the Standard and Advanced versions of RX, so if you need components beyond the six included here, those larger editions cover a wider set of tools.
